I learned to read Tarot as a laugh but after a single day’s course I became obsessed. A few years and much training later, I was reading tarot cards professionally
If anyone had told me, ten years ago, that I would be reading Tarot cards as a job I would have fallen off my chair with laughter
I am writing this from bed, due to having flu. Yes indeed. Bravery Plus.
